“To obey is to make of our wills an offering to God.”

“To Obey is to make of our wills an offering to God.”

(an excerpt from “Humility of Heart” by Father Cajetan Mary da Bergamo) In reality, the malice of pride lies in the practical contempt which we show for God’s Will by disobeying it. Thus it is, says St. Augustine, there is pride in every sin committed, “by which we despise the…

The End of All Human Actions and Affections Is the Love of God

(from “Jesus Appeals to the World” by Father Lorenzo Sales, I.M.C.) The most that a creature can give Him is already His, and He can ask for it back, even to life itself. But not so with love; here on earth, the creature is free to refuse it. But God…

O how beautiful is a humble soul!

a humble soul

(from the Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska, #1306) O humility, lovely flower, I see how few souls possess you. Is it because you are so beautiful and at the same time so difficult to attain? O yes, it is both the one and the other. Even God takes great…

The Annunciation

(excerpts from a sermon by Blessed John Henry Newman) Now what did the Pharisee do? He did not even go so far as to behave in an unseemly, extravagant way: he was grave and solemn, and yet what he did was enough to displease God, because he took too much…

“My Heart is easily taken captive by My little children.”

Glorious Lord Jesus

(Jesus, in private revelation given to Gabrielle Bossis, on April 20, 1941) Don’t you come to Me with more confidence than to any friend on earth? Aren’t you at home in My Heart? It should be that way too, since for each soul I am the unique, the incomparable One.…

Children’s Lessons

(Jesus, in private revelation given to Gabrielle Bossis, on December 24, 1939) Do you know what the world was like before I came?  There was God and there were men.  Now God has become a man among men—one of you.  What love!  What potential oneness between you and Him!  Do…

Through the Devil’s envy, death entered the world

black and white grungy tree

(from the book “The Hidden Power of Kindness” by Father Lawrence G. Lovasik) St. John says, “Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the…

The Calming of the Storm

Jesus calms the storm stained glass

(from private revelation given to Maria Valtorta on January 30, 1944) This is what I saw. A sailing boat, not excessively large, nor very small, a fishing boat, on which five or six people can move comfortably, is ploughing the water of the beautiful deep blue lake of Gennesaret. Jesus…

The Garment of Humility

Jesus falls with the Cross

(from private revelation given to Luisa Piccarreta on January 12, 1900) Finding myself in my usual state, my adorable Jesus came in a pitiful state. He had His hands bound tightly, His face covered with spit, and many people were slapping Him horribly. And He remained quiet, placid, without making…
